If I were Duchene, the amount required to re-sign in Ottawa is much higher than Melnyk would pay.
Except the part where he is has publicly stated multiple times he wants to stay in Ottawa. If he is being honest and I don't see he wouldn't be he should get 8.5-9M/yr from the Sens. Remember, Melnyk can be as big a cheapskate as he wants but there is a cap floor he needs to hit.
